2.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
The system board is capable of monitoring the following "system
health" conditions.
• Monitors CPU/system temperature
• Monitors ±12V/±5V/3.3V/CPU/VBAT(V)/5VSB(V) voltages
• Monitors CPU/chassis fan speed
• Automatic chassis fan on/off control
• Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
If you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to
sound when an abnormal condition occurs, you must install the
"Hardware Monitor" utility. This utility is included in the CD that came
with the system board.
2.1.3 Intelligence
CPU Temperature Protection
The CPU Temperature Protection function has the capability of
monitoring the CPU's temperature during system boot-up. Once it
has detected that the CPU's temperature exceeded the CPU
temperature limit defined in the BIOS, the system will automatically
power-off after 5 warning beeps.
CPU Fan Protection
The CPU Fan Protection function has the capability of monitoring the
CPU fan during system boot-up and will automatically power-off the
system once it has detected that the CPU fan did not rotate. This
preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from
damage and insure a safe computing environment.
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a higher
core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this function is
supported, we do not recommend that you use a higher voltage
because unstable current may be supplied to the system board
causing damage.
